Excellent guide and well organised

We had a wonderful experience and our guide was exceptional. Royer was super knowledgeable and very helpful and thoughtful through out the day and took care of our specific requirements on the trek.

Would not book again

Advertised a Mercedes Sprinter; we were picked up in a different van with no working AC. After the hike they left us at the restaurant for over 40 minutes to deal with the van. The driver said it was fine. On the highway it nearly broke down several times. We had to switch vans mid-trip. On the replacement van they turned the AC off after we asked for it, and the back was extremely hot until we asked again. Unsafe and unpleasant. Would not book again.

So worth it!

The hike up Rainbow Mountain was absolutely challenging, but our guide, David, made it feel like a breeze. I actually sprained my ankle right before the trip and was worried I wouldn't make it. David never once stopped motivating me on the trail. Without his incredible support and encouragement, I would have completely missed out on one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Endurance tester

We did this after tiring day and we had to wake up early to drive up to the starting point. We had morning breakfast prepare by the crew and it was great! We then reached the hiking point and was considering taking the horse up. But we didnt, which in hindsight is a regret. We were tired and thought we could pull this off. Nevertheless, David's energy and enthusiasm was 10/10 he kept us in the correct mood and constantly smiling with encouragement. without his positive energy the trip would have turned sour.
